When is your California conservator accounting due?
Every court-appointed conservator in California files accountings on a statutory clock — and the clock starts on your appointment date, not the calendar year. Enter your appointment date and see every deadline with the statute behind it.
The California deadlines, explained
| What | When | Authority |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory & Appraisal | 90 days after appointment | Prob. Code §2610; enforcement §2614.5 (OSC re removal for an untimely I&A) |
| First accounting | one year after appointment | Prob. Code §2620(a); Cal. Rules of Court 7.575(a) |
| Later accountings | at least every two years (the court may order more frequent) | Prob. Code §2620(a) |
What happens if you miss one
In California, failure to file on time can constitute contempt, and the court can issue an OSC re removal or suspension of letters.[CCP §1209; Prob. Code §2620(d)]
What you'll file
Your accounting takes the form of the GC-400 (standard) or GC-405 (simplified) accounting. The court checks it line by line: the math has to balance exactly, this period's opening balance has to match last period's closing balance to the penny, and disbursements need receipts behind them. See why California accountings get rejected for the specifics.
